Death's Display

I saw a body lying on the street,
scars and blood,
the pain I could feel through this picture of misery,
a faint smile,
forever painted
on the face of the corpse.

Cold and wet it was,
though feelings of sorrow were still warm,
as tears flushed the cheeks
of passers-by.

And I saw that in the dirt
which had once given life to this death's display,
sweat of regrets and
a touch of its ending breath,
were mixed.

None alive
could ever imagine,
what went through
the mind of the dead,
in its last moment.
